My first card today uses the gorgeous frame from the new The Simple Things Stamp TV kit. This kit is filled with so many fun things, like the pretty Vintage Cut that I stamped my frame on, and the gorgeous ribbon. The designer paper is from the Autumn Landscape paper pack that you get FREE with a $50 order. I stamped in GKD Charcoal Brown ink, and added a few Dark Chocolate Buttons for some extra pizzazz.
My second card uses elements from Melanie's new Fabulous Frame Fillers, as well as from The Simple Things Stamp TV kit, and Melanie's original Fabulous Frame. I stamped in Honey Mustard and In the Navy.
TIP:
I wanted some dry embossing in only the bottom section of the frame, so I laid my ivory cardstock on my large dot embossing folder and used a dry embossing stylus to add the embossing. I had stamped my frame on layering weight ivory and colored with a matching Spectrum Noir marker, so I could see the section I wanted to stay in from the back of the cardstock. I was hoping to use my swiss dot folder to do the top section the same way, but I couldn't find it on my desk. LOL! Maybe next time! : )
My final card is an extra... It uses last month's FREE with $50 paper - Garden Tour and an older Duo stamp set called My Most Favorite. The Garden Tour paper pack is now available for sale, so if you didn't get any last month you'll want to pick up a pack. It is SO pretty!
Anyway, I wanted to make a fun card to send to my daughter in college, and this was a fun and EASY design. And look! I actually DID use a stamp from The Simple Things Stamp TV kit! The brick wall makes a fabulous shadow behind all sorts of things, from sentiments to silhouettes, and it can go from whimsical to elegant easily, like on this card I showed at the release party.

Terrific cards! I love the color palette of the pumpkin card and frame card, and wonderful addition of the textured dots!

What elegant cards!
So many beautiful cards! Love the clever ribbon/button treatment on the first one and the Give thanks card is a perfectly CASEable Thanksgiving card. I love those images together.
Love your cards, Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for the great tip on a different way to emboss only part of a paper. You can really be selective on where or what you emboss by using the stylus.
4 very different cards and all beautiful - thanks for sharing
Beautiful cards Tricia.
Love all the fabulous designs.
Beautiful cards, Tricia! Can't wait to get my fingers inky!
Lovely cards all, but especially love the pumpkin give thanks card. Beautiful!
Great cards! Love the Honey Mustard and In the Navy together - I would not have thought of this combination!
OH! I love ALL of these - love the color combinations, and love the brick wall behind Most Favorite. :D
Love the addition of embossing on the first card. That card would also be a good masculine card with a different sentiment.
Lovely cards.
All of your cards are so pretty, I especially like the first one, because the colors are so unusual for a fall card.
Beautiful cards.
Oh my! Love your designs. Looking forward to receiving my first kit plus more.
Love all the nice colors and the simple, beautiful cards are great.
The fox stamp is just adorable. The colors you used on the leaf card are beautiful! I just love them all actually.
All four cards are awesose. Can't decide which is the best but who cares. They are all wonderful cards.
The two cards you made to show the whimsy and the elegant sides to the brick wall were super. Shows how versatile this stamp is.
WOW, Tricia...Beautiful card designs here. Luv the first card color scheme and fun ideas, especially the buttoned up ribbon ;-)
I love the elegant style of the last card. All are pretty but it is my fave. Thanks
Your cards gave me some great ideas and inspiration for how to use these stamp sets. I particularly like the Thanksgiving card; love the dark blue and brown color scheme. Very elegant.
Very pretty cards to show off these great new stamp sets!
Love the new stamp sets and the collection colors! Thanks for all the inspiring crafting ideas!
